The German people, like any other society, have their own names. According to the German Language Society, in recent years, popular female names are Marie, Sophie, Lena, Emma, Lea / Leah, Anna, Emilie ), Lily (Lilli / Lilly / Lili), Lina (Lina). How do German families choose a name? What is the main focus? First of all, when sorting out German girls' names, many families pay attention to euphony. That is why such names as Louise, Laura, Lena, Lea, Emily are very popular among Germans.
In addition, the popularity of a name is influenced by pop culture and social events. For example, after the victory of Lena Meyer-Landrut at Eurovision, this name was given to almost every third newborn. Fashion also plays an important role, for example, there was a time when there were too many babies named Angelina, Justin and Kevin in kindergartens. However, there are parents who name their children after fictional characters in books or films. And at the same time, the "old-fashioned" German names of girls are becoming popular, the same situation can be observed in Russia. If you want to give your daughter a beautiful German name, then we advise you to use our list.

Linguists usually divide German names into two main groups. These are groups of names of different origins. The first group includes names of Germanic origin. In the second group, scientists include names borrowed from the Catholic faith. So the Germanic names are considered: Karl, Gertrude, Wolfgang, Ulrich and others. Catholic names include: David, Peter, Michael, Christian and others.
Unlike many countries, it is not customary in Germany to give children fictitious names, although this tradition is gradually being broken. The trend of gaining independence in short forms of names is gaining momentum. Many derivatives of full names are supplanting their parents from everyday life. So the name Heinz, one of the thirty most popular German names, is a short form of the name Heinrich, which is not included in this popularity rating. It should be noted that this trend is worldwide. Another interesting trend is gaining independence in abbreviations of double names. So the name Annamaria became an independent name, and earlier it was an abbreviation for Anna Maria.
Germanic names, despite the interpenetration of cultures, have not received much distribution in the Russian language. What, in principle, can be said about the names of the Slavic countries that did not go further than the Slavic countries. Common and familiar names for both cultures are names of Christian origin. These are the names that are in the Bible, and the names of the saints common to Christians.
German male names have been popular for the last 100 years. 2002 data (30 names).
Thomas / Tomas - Thomas Wolfgang - Wolfgang Claus / Klaus - Klaus Jurgen - Jurgen Gunter / Gunther - Gunther Stefan / Stephan - Stefan Christian / Kristian - Christian Werner - Werner Horst - Horst Frank - Frank Dieter - Dieter |
Manfred - Manfred Gerhard / Gerhardt - Gerhard Bernd - Bernd Thorsten / Torsten - Torsten Mathias / Matthias - Mathias / Matthias Helmut / Helmuth - Helmut / Helmuth Walter / Walther - Walter Heinz - Heinz Martin - Martin Jorg / Joerg - Jorg Rolf - Rolf Sven / Swen - Sven Alexander - Alexander (Russian. |
Germany does not keep official statistics on assigned names, for it does the German scientist-enthusiast Knud Bielefeld, who regularly determines the most common German names for babies.
In 2012, he was able to analyze 165,979 birth certificates from all over Germany, which is about 25 percent of all those born in 2012. His estimate is based on publications from 430 different sources, including data from maternity hospitals, clinics and registry offices. We talk about the top three names: the most popular female and male names in Germany in 2012 and we present the TOP-25 names with their spelling in German and Russian.
The most popular German female names
Mia- an abbreviated form from the biblical name Mary. The name Mia was not popular until the 90th year, but since 2007, the name Mia has entered the top 10 most common names among babies. Since 2009, Mia has been the most popular female name in Germany. The name "Mia" is a popular German pop-rock group.
Very often girls were called Emmas at the end of the 19th century. During the 20th century, the name Emma has lost its popularity. The return of the name began in the early 2000s, and for the past 10 years, Emma has been in the top 10 most frequent German names.
German name Hannah is used in two variants - like Hannah and Hanna, with 59% of modern Hannas having an “h” at the end of the name. Since 1979, this name has been gaining popularity, and for the last 15 years it has been liked by most German parents. The result is logical - in schools, Hannah is the most common name.
Most Popular German Male Names
Ben- German male name borrowed from English. Despite the fact that the name Ben is an abbreviated form of Benjamin, the Germans do not use the full form, believing that it is quite normal to write the name Ben on the child's birth certificate. Moreover, many parents give their child a middle name, for example Ben Luka, or Ben Louis. Since 2001, the popularity of the name Ben has not dropped below the top 30.
Luke- the popularity of the name was set by Susan Viga, whose song of the same name entered the charts around the world in 1987. Since then, Luca has been on the rise in the list of preferences of German parents. Luke's name in Germany has long overtaken America in popularity. Luca is the name of the unisex generation: assigned to both girls and boys. Luca's male name originates in the Italian form of the name Lucas. Feminine - to the Catholic Lutz, or Lucia. According to German law, a child does not have to be given a middle name in this case: the overwhelming majority of children with Luke's name are boys.
German name Paul was at the peak of its popularity in the late 19th - early 20th centuries. The fashion for names changed, the male name Paul was forgotten to start gaining popularity again, following England, in the late seventies, and to enter the top 30 most popular male German names at the beginning of the 19th century. The meaning of the name Paul is "small". The name takes roots from the ancient Roman Paulus.

German names. German male names and their meaning
Attention! Sites and blogs appeared on the Internet that are not our official sites, but use our name. Be careful. Scammers use our name, our email addresses for their mailings, information from our books and our sites. Using our name, they drag people to various magical forums and deceive (give advice and recommendations that can harm, or defraud money for conducting magical rituals, making amulets and teaching magic). On our sites, we do not provide links to magic forums or to sites of magicians-healers. We do not participate in any forums. We do not give consultations by phone, we do not have time for this. Note! We are not engaged in healing and magic, we do not make or sell talismans and amulets. We are not engaged in magic and healing practice at all, we have not offered and do not offer such services. The only area of our work is correspondence consultations in writing, training through an esoteric club and writing books. Sometimes people write to us that on some sites they saw information that we allegedly deceived someone - they took money for healing sessions or making amulets. We officially declare that this is slander, not true. In our entire life, we have never deceived anyone. On the pages of our site, in the materials of the club, we always write that you need to be an honest decent person. For us, an honest name is not an empty phrase. People who write slander about us are guided by the most base motives - envy, greed, they have black souls. The times have come when defamation pays well. Now many people are ready to sell their homeland for three kopecks, and it is even easier to slander decent people. People who write slander do not understand that they seriously worsen their karma, worsen their fate and the fate of their loved ones. It makes no sense to talk with such people about conscience, about faith in God. They do not believe in God, because a believer will never make a deal with his conscience, he will never engage in deception, slander, or fraud. There are a lot of swindlers, pseudo-magicians, charlatans, envious people, people without conscience and honor, hungry for money. Police and other regulatory agencies have yet to cope with the increasing influx of "Cheating for Profit" madness. So please be careful!

Almost all German names can be divided into two groups. The first group are names that have ancient Germanic roots, and the second group are foreign-language names that were borrowed by the people from the Catholic calendar. Under German law, parents are not allowed to use place names, surnames or fictitious names as first names. But Germans can give children an unlimited number of names. It should be noted that recently there have been more cases when in official documents people registered children using short or diminutive names, for example, instead of Heinrich they gave Heinz.
If you want to give your child a German name, then we advise you to first go through all the lists of names. Only then choose the German names of the boys by sound. You can also choose German names for boys and girls by meaning and associations. Names for children must be chosen carefully, because the name lays the program for life. For example, children named Ansell become leaders, they are always in the spotlight, unlike children named Bolder. The Reinholds and Raimunds are wealthier, but the Wilfrieds become good military servants.
